The Volunteer Lawyers can’t represent you in court or file legal papers for you. If you seek help from the Volunteer Lawyers Project, you are still responsible for all court dates and filing deadlines.

How Do I Meet With A Volunteer Lawyer?

Meet with a Volunteer Lawyer in the New York City Civil Court’s Help Center located at 111 Centre Street. No appointment is necessary. Select the month below to see when a volunteer attorney will be in the New York County Help Center:

If no Volunteer Lawyers are scheduled in the Help Center on the day you want to go, you can get help from a Help Center Court Attorney who can give you free legal and procedural information.

What is the Difference Between a Volunteer Lawyer and a Help Center Court Attorney?

Help Center Court Attorneys work for the Court. They can explain court procedures, legal terms, and provide general legal information. They can provide referrals to government agencies, social service organizations and legal services providers. But as Court employees, the Help Center Attorneys can’t give you legal advice.
